Aug 24 Meet Kyrgyz emoji for Telegram

Kyrgyz designers from Mozgami Branding Agency have presented 'Balaty' — emoji for Telegram messenger, stickers and souvenirs. 'Balaty' is a social project aimed at promotion of authentic characters and charity support for children. The word 'balaty' means 'a small fir' in Kyrgyz. Our children are like small firs, who always need support to grow tall and strong, says the studio's post on Facebook. While emoji for Telegram are free, the other souvenirs will be sold in different stores and restaurants: Fresco ice-cream truck, Bublik coffee shop, Royal sports complex and others. 15% from sales will be directed to charity to support children and socially vulnerable groups.

'Balaty' emoji for Telegram are Kyrgyz kids — a boy and a girl with national attributes and emotions, which have a standard emotions range messengers usually offer — happy, laughing, dancing, in love and etc. The studio is also planning to launch emoji for Facebook and Facebook Messenger.

Mozgami Branding Agency is a Kyrgyz design studio, which offers design solutions to individuals and businesses, based in Bishkek.
